This seems to be the way these things work - 1 Person throws out a new players name the Flames could acquire, and then 20 variations for the same player are proposed.
All of a sudden everyone is an expert on the player and for some reason he is exactly what the team needs!

Robert Thomas is an excellent young player. The first time I noticed him was the 2017 CHL Prospects game. I thought he and Kailer Yamamato stood out to me the most.
After the game, I was convinced that Nico Hischier would go #1 and also that the Flames should draft Robert Thomas as he would ultimately be a better player than Nolan Patrick who was super underwhelming. Still can’t believe Patrick went #2, his game was so basic and his skating left a lot to be desired.
Was equally surprised when Thomas fell to 20 and Yamamato fell to 22. If Thomas does end up on the block at all, I think a lot of teams will be lining up.
